Now bringing this to gamblers of today; how do you feel when the team you bet in favour of lost the game due to an own goal from one of the teammate's?
1. Do you get vexed up at the player?
2. Do you take it as a common loss by the team just like other days? or
3. Do you curse the player for that?
Fortunately, I has not happened to me yet and honestly I hope it never does, to be honest. Though, if it was my experience and if the money I had at stake was nearly as significant, then I would go as far as never betting in a match as long as that single player is present in the field, that is how far I would go and how far my own grudge would go.
I have a couple of cousins who are quite experienced with betting on football/soccer matches and I must say they would easily curse the player as soon as they saw the own-goal getting scored.
It is said betting and gambling are equally unpredictable and suffering an own goal during an important match (while unlikely) it is a real possibility one cannot ignore from happening.
